Abstract

This study aimed to identify the latent classes of work-family spillover among working mothers, and to explore the pattern of transition across latent classes over time. In addition, we examined factors influencing the latent transition. The data were from the 7th and 8th years of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families(KLSWF) using latent transition analysis. As a result of the analysis, 4 latent classes were derived in the 7th year, and depression, happiness, overall leisure satisfaction, number of minor children, working hours, and work satisfaction were identified as significant factors. In the 8th year, 3 latent classes were derived, and depression, overall leisure satisfaction, working hours, work satisfaction, increased housework hours, and increased subjective happiness were identified as significant factors. Happiness, overall leisure satisfaction, and work satisfaction were found to be factors affecting the transition between latent classes. These findings would be useful to enhance work-family balance for working mothers.
